This morning I gathered the diets for all three trails, cleaned a few dishes left from last night and waited for the meeting. There was a mix up at commissary this morning: they did not give us the melon and banana that are needed for medication. Also there was an issue with the amount of lettuce given for the afternoon.
Metting:
There is an LC meeting at 12:30. Baboon is not getting any help from Buffer. Monkey Village there have been several females that have been in estrus this week, Molly the Squirrel monkey and Haddie the Siamang.

Many of the keepers seemed to resent how redundant the speaker made the presentation. After that we tried to watch a training video but the speakers were not working.

Hoof stock: they are moving many of the Bighorn to another bute and keeping 8 breeding females. They are going to be getting a new male from a relocation center. He will bring in new genes to the genetic pool since he is wild born. Rhinocerus: the new female, Lulu, will be coming from San Diego on Saturday. Birds: there are several new chicks throughout the exhibits. There are some eggs as well but since they have not hatched yet they do not want to count them. ACC: the ram that escaped his pen had been fixed and sherred. He now weighs less than half of when he arrived. Reptiles: new exhibit is open and they will be attempting to breed the new reptiles soon. Found a clutch of reptile eggs in another exhibit. Rays: they are getting a backup generator and it is almost complete. Gates: gate three will be hectic for three months while they are making changes to the landscape. Carnivore: Female will be off exhibit for a little while. I asked Danyelle if they were trying breed them and she said yes so I am thinking that it has something to do with possible
